He shared his stories and connected with everyone in the group. We also ordered the frozen hot chocolate which was highly recommended. I found it to be "okay" because it is just a blended ice chocolate drink. They were very nice and helpful. They also had a store inside where you can buy the chocolates that they make in-house.

What a gem that's flung far from Kona, in the middle of nowhere off the side of Highway 11. It's…read moregot this old Hawaii meets Japanese comfort food charm that evokes a wistful presence from yesteryear. There's something about a flower being pinned to your hair as you're seated to eating a bowl of saimin as Unchained Melody plays in the background that brings a nostalgic smile to your face and makes you feel right at home. Oh - and if you ask the server what's in the Kona Beef Curry Stew... it's beef and curry. Ha. Tellin' them city folk like it is.

We tried out this legendary Japanese Hawaiian diner near the end of our trip. It is literally like…read morea slice out of history! Not to be missed! They have a TV showing historical clips of the Japanese immigrants who moved to Hawaii. We learned so much just dining there! The servers were very nice and friendly. They even offer free, hot green tea. It wasn't crowded when we went there for lunch. The server said we could order from the dinner menu too. The restaurant is decorated with a bunch of old family photos. It's not a fancy food location, but a place that is in the locals' hearts. Also, it's not standard Japanese American food, so don't come in looking for rolls and such! Instead, they serve fresh, perfectly prepared Japanese food with a Hawaiian twist, favorites like saimin and shrimp tempura. The large saimin ($16.17) was delicious and really hit the spot. Toppings were Spam, eggs, and veggies. Simple, but tasty! Shrimp tempura appetizer ($14.85) was a pretty large sized dish. The pieces have a lot of crunchy batter and the kids loved it. It was a bit greasy, but that's to be expected. DH got a Oyako Donburi with sashimi ($21.93). Wow, the sashimi was truly amazing! So tender, it just melts in your mouth. The eggs were cooked with bamboo pieces which kinda threw DH off. I liked them, but DH would've preferred it without. The flavor is sweet/salty and pretty mild. It came with miso soup and some pickles. Parking is right in the front and backs into the main road. It can be spicy getting out if traffic is heavy. They don't have a lot of bathrooms, so there might be a wait. Those are the downsides. Otherwise, a wonderful local place to eat!

Delicious food with kind service. The coffee was super good with the macadamia nut milk…read more The papaya itself wasn't sweet and didn't really taste like anything. Finals thought it would be a yogurt bowl, but it was only a spoonful of yogurt. The eggs Benedict's had great flavor, and the fish tasted sooo good with the hollandaise sauce . The omelet was very cheesy and we loved the cheese pull. While the cheesecake was good, the crust needs work. It's pretty hard and we couldn't break it up easily. Cookie was dry and not something we would get again. The bar was also pretty hard, but the flavors were nice.

I had the strawberry bingsoo (milk shave ice) and salmon cream cheese sandwich with chips…read more Both were amazing. Everything seems to be made to order, and the sandwich was loaded with flavor and all of the ingredients tasted super fresh. The strawberry bingsoo was probably the best shave I've I've ever had. Fresh strawberries with whipped cream and incredibly fine shave ice. Wish they had this back on Oahu. Definitely drop by if you're in Kona!

Stopped in for a drink and lite dessert and was not disappointed!…read more Drink: strawberry ade refresher. Perfect amount of bubbles and strawberry purée. Dessert: Mango bingsoo: the shaved ice was so fluffy. I first thought it was finely shaved coconut , but it was a creamy shaved ice. Nice and sweet with generous chunks of ripe mango and almost ripe mango for a nice firmer mouth feel. Service: the service provided from order to pick up was excellent.

We went at about 10:00 on a Wednesday morning and lucked out with the last parking spot. They have a cute outdoor seating area as well as tables inside. The place was busy with people on their laptops and families enjoying their morning coffee and snacks. We got haupia latte and a brown sugar latte. They asked if we wanted it hot or cold and we both chose cold. They also have hats, t shirts, jackets with their logo on it. The t shirts were nice but kinda pricey at $35.00. Service was quick and really no complaints. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in Kona.

If you are looking for merch to take home- they have shirts and stickers and cups, etc. I bought a card package to send home with a bag of coffee beans.

We wanted to try…read moresomething new, so we decided to go down the road a ways and try another place on a Google search. This led us here...except...they don't do smoothie bowls. Oops. No big deal! They do have smoothies, so we decided to try those out with a slice of cheesecake. I mean, because cheesecake. The employee here was super helpful and nice. Honestly, this location looks extremely popular for a late breakfast, and it makes sense to me: the menu was full of some yummy offerings. You felt like you were sitting in a very personal, old time diner where everyone would know each other. It was honestly very authentic, and I loved how we felt like we were at a friend's house. The smoothies were really good! Bright, vibrant flavors and very much needed after a busy morning. The cheesecake, well, it lasted about 2.5 seconds. Seriously sooo good and a nice little treat! I believe they make the cheesecake and other baked goods in-house, so that's a bonus. This wasn't what we were hunting for, but we were happy to stumble upon this cozy diner!

Waitress was a bit rude and pushy as came with friends to listen to the band, and had plenty of time to order. She was also unfamiliar with the menu and didn't know much about it and took a long time to return. On the other hand the food was tasteful and lots of flavors. The ambiance was also a great location in Holualoa with nice vibes and aesthetic was well put together.
